5-Aminolaevulinic Acid-Based Photodynamic Therapy Restrains Pathological Hyperplasia of Fibroblasts.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND This study aimed to explore whether 5-aminolaevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) restrains pathological hyperplasia of fibroblasts from hyperplastic scar tissues, and to investigate the potential mechanism. MATERIAL AND METHODS We used MTT assay, flow cytometry, and terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated nick-end labeling (TUNEL) to examine the effects of ALA-PDT on proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis of fibroblasts isolated from hyperplastic scar tissues. The growth-promoting effect of fibroblasts on vascular endothelial cells was measured by cell co-culture. Real-time PCR and Western blot analysis were performed to detect the expression levels of transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1), ?-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA), Collagen I, Collagen III, vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA), and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). RESULTS ALA-PDT inhibited proliferation delayed cell cycle progress, promoted apoptosis of fibroblasts, and suppressed its growth-promoting effect on vascular endothelial cells, and decreased expression of TGF-?1, ?-SMA, Collagen I, Collagen III, VEGFA, and bFGF. CONCLUSIONS ALA-PDT effectively restrained pathological hyperplasia of fibroblasts from hyperplastic scar tissues, which may provide a research basis for clinical therapy of hyperplastic scars.

Project description:Skin photoaging due to ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that increase matrix metalloproteinase (MMP). Chlorin e6-photodynamic therapy (Ce6-PDT), in addition to being the first-line treatment for malignancies, has been shown to lessen skin photoaging, while curcumin is well known for reducing the deleterious effects of ROS. In the current study, PDT with three novel Ce6-curcumin derivatives, a combination of Ce6 and curcumin with various linkers, including propane-1,3-diamine for Ce6-propane-curcumin; hexane-1,6-diamine for Ce6-hexane-curcumin; and 3,3'-((oxybis(ethane-2,1-diyl))bis(oxy))bis(propan-1-amine) for Ce6-dipolyethylene glycol (diPEG)-curcumin, were studied for regulation of UVB-induced photoaging on human skin fibroblast (Hs68) and mouse embryonic fibroblast (BALB/c 3T3) cells. We assessed the antiphotoaging effects of Ce6-curcumin derivatives on cell viability, antioxidant activity, the mechanism of matrix metalloproteinase-1 and 2 (MMP-2) expression, and collagen synthesis in UVB-irradiated in vitro models. All three Ce6-curcumin derivatives were found to be non-phototoxic in the neutral red uptake phototoxicity test. We found that Ce6-hexane-curcumin-PDT and Ce6-propane-curcumin-associated PDT exhibited less cytotoxicity in Hs68 and BALB/c 3T3 fibroblast cell lines compared to Ce6-diPEG-curcumin-PDT. Ce6-diPEG-curcumin and Ce6-propane-curcumin-associated PDT showed superior antioxidant activity in Hs68 cell lines. Further, in UVB-irradiated in vitro models, the Ce6-diPEG-curcumin-PDT greatly attenuated the expression levels of MMP-1 and MMP-2 by blocking mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), activator protein 1 (AP-1), and tumor necrosis factor-α (NF-κB) signaling. Moreover, Ce6-diPEG-curcumin effectively inhibited inflammatory molecules, such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, while accelerating collagen synthesis. These results demonstrate that Ce6-diPEG-curcumin may be a potential therapy for treating skin photoaging.
